At the time they were surveyed in 1934 to 1936, an Inspector of National Monuments counted 221 still standing, spread across two adjoining townlands: 173 in Timoney Hills and 48 in the neighbouring townland of Cullaun. A later map published in the Archaeological Survey of Ikerrin recorded as many as 245, though by that point 70 had already been removed, along with five cairns that once accompanied them. What remains is a field of red sandstone and conglomerate uprights, most standing between 0.9 and 1.8 metres high, arranged with no immediately obvious pattern, save for one stone circle identified in Cullaun.

The individual stone described here, one of 11 identified within a single field and designated 5H on the 1930s survey map, is rectangular in section, stands 0.9 metres high, and is orientated on a north-south axis. There are no packing stones visible around its base, which is a detail worth noting: packing stones, the smaller rocks wedged around a standing stone to hold it upright, are a common feature of genuinely ancient monuments and their absence can complicate interpretation. A second stone stands just 2 metres to the south-west. The entire Timoney group carries the designation of National Monument No. 353, yet a significant question hangs over the site. Because the stones sit within the landscaped grounds of Timoney Park, the former Parker-Hutchinson estate, there is genuine scholarly doubt about whether they are prehistoric in origin or whether some or all of them were positioned as estate ornaments during the landscaping of the parkland. That uncertainty, unresolved, is perhaps what makes the place most interesting: a field full of stones that may be ancient, may be theatrical, or may be some layered combination of both.
